So, I have been actually doing really well with my horrible anxiety that is very very scary and physical for me. I've been on Citalopram (Celexa) for almost 5 weeks and its been helping a lot! They also have me on 10mg 2x daily of Propanolol and .5 Aitivan for attacks, but I only take half and mainly to sleep at night. Well...lastnight I did get woken up a few times by some people with stressful situations, so I'm not sure if its the calprit or not, but, I felt fine for hours this morning, just a little tired....but I am a smoker, and I did realize I was smoking WAY too much this morning. By the way, I've been completely thoroughly medically checked out, heart, lungs, head, bloodworks etc etc....
About a half an hour ago I decided to lay down and try to take a nap...and that's when it started!!! I got a slight sharp quick pain in the left chest, tried to ignore it, then it would lightly come and go, then felt like I wasn't getting enough air, on and off pains in areas of my arms, then got the lump in my throat. I gave in and took a half and Ativan and hoping that will help but, I need someone to talk to and keep me occupied. Because as I sit here alone, I notice it more which in turn makes it more scary and intense by thinking about it. Every symptoms coming and going so I'm glad they're not all together....but I hate this!!! Oh yea, I also got that full cloudy feeling in my ears and some tingly finger tips...ugh!!!
PLEASE write back someone!!! You guys are my rock here!

thank you so much for the support and checking in!! It feels great to have a friend to talk to going through the same things!! it did get better and today has been good so far, except like you I'm just laying here with my iPhone lol. It is such a beautiful day here too so I might see if my hubby wants to go for a walk around the lake or something. How is your day going?
Lots of love,
Stacy

Your so right Joan! That is what it's all about!! And Lesley, knowing your not alone really helps more than you'd think!!
I think it personally helps me reading others posts and what they're going through and being able to help and support them. Saying "hey I go through that too!" Makes me feel good to reassure and help them while also reassuring me it's not just me, ya know what I mean?!
